They are honoring LGBTQ individuals in public policy who have contributed professionally to the Capitol & Public Policy community, served as leaders and role models for our community, are an inspiration to early-career professionals and staffers, and have an exemplary record of service.

“With the help of community sponsors and individual donations, the Capitol LGBTQ Association is able to host the second annual Staff Appreciation Night,” said Bish the association’s External Affairs Directo. “Our donors are essential in honoring LGBTQ policy staff.”

From networking mixers to partnered events, the Association has hosted a number of activities to promote community and professional growth, including:

Staff Appreciation Night in partnership with the California Legislative LGBT Caucus to celebrate the contributions of LGBTQ staff

Monthly networking mixers that attract professionals from across Sacramento

Mentorship program for individuals looking to advance in their policy careers

Brown bag lunches with current and former members of the LGBT Caucus

Policy briefings on topics of relevance to the LGBTQ community

In 2018, we are proud to have received the "Community Empowerment Award" from Equality California, and the "Equality Award" from the Sacramento Kings NBA team.
